Puffs, I see what you mean about Powerdynamo, it doesn't advance the timing. However it DOES what needs to be done: if you adjust timing in the midrange, it retards the timing at low and high RPM. The old 2T rule is that more advance favors mid-RPM, and less advance favors low and high RPM, so with fixed timing you have to compromise. Powerdynamo's characteristic means you can maximise mid-RPM advance, and it'll retard it in the low and high ranges, just as the engine wants... well at least enough that it won't knock at high RPM nor kick back at the low ones.
About Guesi's citation from German Wikipedia, I've found that article (I can read some German) and the 1 ms is quoted from this book:
Richard van Basshuysen, Fred Schäfer (Hrsg.): Handbuch Verbrennungsmotor. Grundlagen, Komponenten, Systeme, Perspektiven. 2. verbesserte Auflage. Vieweg, Braunschweig u. a. 2002, ISBN 3-528-13933-1, S. 301ff. So I guess there is some substance to that... I wonder if the same rule applies equally to both 2T and 4T engines... Someone should look that book up
